The Outfielders

Front Cover
Dreamspinner Press, Oct 31, 2016 - Fiction - 240 pages
Sometimes love can come out of left field. Tony was waiting until he went away to college to come out to his parents and start his new gay life. Unfortunately, at twenty-four, it doesn't look like college is going to happen after all. Stuck in a dead-end job in a small town and still living at home, with all the arrested development that entails, he finds escape in playing for the company baseball team and lusting after his straight outfielder crush, Alex. But Tony's best friend, Jennifer, thinks she's found a plan in the pages of gay romance novels. All Tony has to do is convince Alex he's gay for you... or for Tony. It's easy--just find some excuse to be alone in bed together and let nature take its course. What could possibly go wrong? You can't get to first base if you don't take a chance and step up to the plate.

Robert P. Rowe has spent his entire career as a storyteller making an incredible leap from Disneyland ride operator to show-designer and art director at Walt Disney Imagineering.

His many other works can be found around the world, primarily in Disney and Universal Studios parks.

Additionally, his outside interests include all aspects of architecture, with a specific fascination for the theatrical design of homes from midcentury movies and television. He has a keen enthusiasm for midcentury science fiction. Website: www.robertprowe.com
